Unfamiliar to Us is a new video installation by visual artist Yorgos Petrou and performance artist Victor Esses in partnership with Queer Newham, which focuses around the making of a queer family.
About
This is a frank, autobiographical and experimental film based on life partners exploring their experiences of deciding to have a baby together. Footage was shot in the artists’ own home in a single continuous take using different camera perspectives to capture the couple’s performance.
Drawing upon conversations and interviews with queer identifying people as well as exploring themes of visibility and survival, the artists confess and confront their fears and hopes using movement to express their feelings and text to map out their history together.
